Wonderful. Nice to hear. Sorry in case I sounded a bit annoyed… I have been a bit annoyed as… well I don´t like users to break their systems all that much. :) But in that case, I think its partly caused by Plasma Discover not having been explicit enough on what would happen. I am not completely sure on that, maybe it even said that packages would be removed. But maybe not prominently enough. I usually still use apt on command line. Of course the user is just a fine user in any case. But if the other learned to adjust his or her behavior in the direction of keeping the system working the next time such a thing happens… all the better. > Looking forward to Plasma 5.13. apt dist-upgrade still wants to remove packages. kde-plasma-desktop kde-standard kinfocenter kscreen kwin-addons libpowerdevilcore2 libtaskmanager6 plasma-desktop plasma-mediacenter plasma-widgets-addons plasma-workspace plasma-workspace-wayland powerdevil sddm-theme-breeze And aptitude explains that this is due to some Plasma packages still at 5.12.5. Using aptitude dist-upgrade is a good way to find out why apt chooses to remove packages. Thanks, -- Martin
